Juliano (belongs to @forthedancingandthethriving)
Guardians: -1 and -2/Domain and Forum
The main protagonist of Rising Star Circus, and Domain and Forum's Avatar back when they were still the prototype SMGs. Despite the destruction of his original universe, he managed to survive as a few strings of code and reform as a Mario Recolor in the Super Mario 64 universe. He's since reunited with his old friends and restored his original model, though his code is still incredibly fragile, and he's got some nasty scars he'd rather keep hidden.
He currently acts as a mentor to the other Avatars, particularly Mario.
One of the two playable characters in Mage, the other being a blank slate recolor before the role was filled by SMG0. He unfortunately died when the False SMG Niles went insane after trying to repair his unstable code.
The main protagonist of Spudnick's Great Adventure. He was killed by Zer0 when it tried to convert him into a replacement Fred in its "Perfect" new world, leading to the events that would forever change the destiny of the Super Mario 64 universe, and the greater SMG multiverse by extension.
The main protagonist of Super Mario 64, the Super Mario franchise as a whole, and the SMG4 series. Due to the unusual circumstances of his universe's activation, Mario lacks the instinctual understanding, knowledge and control of his Avatar abilities that the others have, and has only recently started learning those skills the hard way. It doesn't help that his Meme Energy levels are significantly higher than everyone else's, so he's stuck having more power to try and control than they do.
Guardians: Penta Knight and 6
The main protagonist of the Kirby series. He's honestly not that different from his canon counterpart, since all that Meme Energy is really just a drop in the bucket compared to the kinds of things he already has going on.
Nimbus (belongs to @forthedancingandthethriving)
The main protagonist of The Cloud's Songbird. She has a complicated relationship with her status as an Avatar, and the weirdness that comes with it, due to the expectations of her station, so she tries to pretend it doesn't exist when she's in her own universe. Unfortunately, due to how Meme Energy works, as well as the friends she's made among the other Avatars and the guilt and rampant insecurity she feels over how she's treating them, this will inevitably blow up in her face both literally and figuratively.
(Note: this has in fact blown up in her face as of the Watered Down Dreams storyline, but with the support of the other Avatars and her local friends she's come out stronger for it)
Tulip (belongs to @forthedancingandthethriving)
The main protagonist of Tulip's Road Trip.
The main protagonist of Outgunned. She and Nimbus often butt heads due to clashing personalities and conflicting morals.
Guardians: XIII and XIV(kingdom hearts things LOL)
Main protagonist of the Kingdom Hearts series. He's obviously a lot crazier than his canon self, but due to the ever-present shadow of The Disney Sensors he has to keep himself reined in a lot more than the other Avatars. Interestingly, certain quirks of his series' Lore have resulted in his SMGs looking like recolors of Roxas and Xion instead of himself.
The main protagonist of a Sonic parody of the same name. He was already a bit crazy and violent before the Memes, so when the USBs dropped and cranked everything up to 11 he feared that he'd be a danger to his friends and ran off. This left him in the perfect state for a certain rogue avatar to convince him to join their cause...
Fortunately, the Avatar-centered plotline of the Legacy Arc and the events leading up to it caused him to realize his mistake, and he's now returned to his own universe to undo the damage he inadvertently caused.
The main protagonist of Blook, and the founder of the Union of Scorned Avatars. He does not like being mistaken for Meat Boy.
He's now an inmate in Computer Hell, following the events of the Legacy Arc.
The mascot and most basic bird type of the Angry Birds franchise. He only speaks-or, well, yells-bird, so nobody knows what the heck is going on with him.
As of the Legacy Arc, it's been revealed that Red was stuck in Crazy Stupid Mode the entire time he was with the Union, and now that he's back to (relatively) normal, that whole period is kind of a blur for him. He's now actually capable of speech, and acts more-or-less how you'd expect based on his canon portrayals.
Guardians: 21/Kira and 22
The main protagonist of the Madou Monogatari series, the first of the three main protagonists of the Puyo Puyo series, and half of the Puyo Puyo universe's Avatar.
Explanation for that can be found here
As of the Arle Arc, she now has the full Avatar code, and is the sole Avatar of her universe.
Doppelganger Arle Dapple Nadja
Guardians: 21/Kira and 22
The main protagonist of the Madou Monogatari series, the main antagonist of Puyo Puyo~n, and the other half of the Puyo Puyo universe's Avatar. She is identity issues incarnate.
She was part of the Union of Scorned Avatars, but now that they've been dismantled she's acting on her own. Currently living in Nimbus's universe as King Bolero's court jester/unofficial-and-unspoken adopted daughter under the assumed identity of Dapple/The Amazing Pierrot.
Following the events of the Arle Arc, her Avatar status has been fully revoked. She is now permanently and openly living in Magnamiel as Dapple, and is taking steps to heal from her trauma.
The main protagonist of Disgaea 1 and Disgaea D2, and a major reoccurring character in the rest of the series. While he's technically part of the good Avatars due to helping them at the end of the Hell Arc, his need to maintain his image as the ruthless "evil" and powerful Overlord of the Netherworld, as well as his rather abrasive and arrogant personality even when he isn't playing that up, means he doesn't get along very well with most of the other Avatars. Plus he's in charge of an entire plane of existence, so he's usually too busy to come to the meetups with any sort of regularity.
Both fortunately and unfortunately for him, the other Avatars can see right through his many-layered facades, trauma-responses and demonic cultural differences to see the genuinely good person underneath, just like his closest friends back home, so even if they don't usually get along with him that well they still care about him and know he'll come through for them if they need it.
(Note: this version of Laharl is genderfluid as of this post, so don't be surprised if Effi or I use she/her or they/them for him sometimes. It's just this version though, I don't personally headcanon the Canon Laharl as genderfluid currently)
The villain protagonist of Hellking. After the success of Laharl's activation, as well as seeing how several canonical villains in different SMG universes have mellowed out, the Admins thought that the Meme Energy would do the same for Ramagog.
Thankfully, he's now an inmate in Computer Hell.
The main protagonist of the series of the same name. Considering what Sequin Land is already like, adding Meme Energy didn't really change too much apart from all the crossover stuff.
The main protagonist of the Pokemon Anime pre-Horizons, which marks the first time something other than a video game was turned into an SMG universe. His activation was a little rocky due to Barry's interference, but things worked out thanks to the help of Mario, SMG4 and SMG3.
The main protagonist of the Pikmin series. As far as he's concerned, the arrival of Memes is just one more item on the list of absurd and somewhat frustrating things that he's had to deal with since joining Hocotate Freight. Though, much like his discovery of the Pikmin, not necessarily a bad one.
Guardians: HMG1 "Vee" Haltmann and HMG2 "Hex" Haltmann
A False Avatar created by Susie Haltmann using a fragment of the God Box. She was originally created to replace Mario, even technically being a clone of him, but turned out to be good and is now his Co-Avatar.
She's weaker (at least in terms of Meme Energy) than a normal avatar due to her Avatar Code being made by a God Box Fragment instead of an Admin, but to make up for it she's immune to Anti-Meme corruption.
The protagonists of Sally's Outstanding Adventure! and Diamind 6: Stars Go Out respectively. Their universes were fused and the Avatar Code split between the two of them as a result of Garyboy messing with their files before the SMG Mod was launched. They're slightly unstable, but thankfully no more-so than the Arles. 33 ended up as a recolor of Sally, while 34 is based on Cole.
Irene Emeril (belongs to @forthedancingandthethriving)
The protagonist of Winding Rest. She was actually introduced to the SMG Multiverse a good while before becoming an Avatar due to encounters with Leto and Mario.
The initial protagonist of Crypt of the NecroDancer and protagonist of its sequels/spinoffs, and the Avatar of the combined Crypt of the NecroDancer, Ranma 1/2 and Vendor Quest! universe. Currently helping her world recover from the events surrounding her activation.
